IE 605: Engineering Statistics

Prerequisite:  Exposure to relevant concepts at undergraduate level and instructor consent

Contents

The course provides a strong foundation in theory and methods of modeling randomness and data analysis in engineering applications. Specific topics include, review of calculus-based probability concepts, common distributions, expectation, moment generating functions; sampling statistics, order statistics, properties of sample mean, Central Limit Theorem. Sampling from a Normal distribution; Parameter estimation, maximum likelihood estimators, interval estimates; bias, efficiency and consistency of point estimators; sampling plans, sequential tests, Hypothesis testing, common tests concerning means, variances, goodness-of-fit, likelihood ratio test, Neyman-Pearson lemma; Regression models, design of experiments.
